Trivia
Matt Harris wrote this screenplay, originally titled "Moon of Popping Trees", in 2000. It won the Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting in 2002. However, he was unable to sell it, and it languished until his first produced screenplay, The Starling (2021), renewed interest in it. Director Walter Hill changed the title and rewrote it extensively.

A Great Disservice for the Diminishing Western Genre

Willem Dafoe, Christoph Waltz, and Rachel Brosnahan- by looking at the top billing of this film and the name of the director, it's not wrong to expect a decent film. But this movie fails at almost every aspect, from the cookie-cutter revisionist western storyline to bad editing, it's atrocious, maybe only apart from the acting. There are so many unnecessary scenes that even someone who doesn't know the ABC of film editing would agree to the fact that there are so many needless scenes. And also, this film feels like it's overrun by at least 20 mins, good editing would've kept the runtime under 90 mins, just like most of Budd Boetticher's famous westerns, whom this film is dedicated to.
